Was mad here for a short while and then it all veered off towards Bolton and up the M61

That was lovely.

Haha. I was trying to put my initial post on here, when the lightning buggered up my WiFi for a while!

Good old mobile data did the trick though.

More to come over night and tomorrow potentially too.

Gardens need it though. Unusually dry for April.

Spent all fucking day watering the bowling green after putting granular fertilizer down. As soon as I finished it pissed down.

Just for future reference

I was going to ask, Micky, do you not watch weather forecasts?

It was absolutely bob on for yesterday.

I do watch them and the Meteorological Office reckoned 70-80% chance of rain. As you'll know, granular fertilizer isn't very forgiving  if the 20% chance of it not raining comes in. As it happened it was belt and braces. The rain was very welcome and the watering was a bit of insurance.

Besides, in reality, it's great fun telling the bowlers that they're welcome to bowl but beware of the hose lines and sprinklers.

It certainly can be a twat that stuff. You could try making your own liquid fertilizer from fermented nettles- loads of them about and doesn't scorch.

Though it stinks to high heaven.

I've got 5 gallons of liquid fertilizer but the pump on the spreader needs attention.

Is it a heavy pumper with poor directional control?

Chapeau, mon frere

It looked so promising this morning too 🙁

Ridiculous this. Well into May, it's pissing down and the wood burner is on.

Veggies seem to have gone to sleep and flower seedlings are hardly moving.

Keep hearing it’s meant to turn next week. Wish it’d get a bloody shift on.

Smacks of that turbulent summer 2 or 3 years ago.

 

It does seem to be warming up next week.

Bloody strange though, 20 odd degrees briefly in Feb, warm Easter, but cool now.

Hail storm at the cricket yesterday was bonkers.

Don’t recall any forecasts of such a splendid spring day

Today's the change day.  Decent week coming. Was up Deane earlier, and it still tried to rain.

Our garden is proper sheltered

Lovely afternoon in the sun

Proper chilly now

Apparently my lawn has been infected with mind your own business. 

 

 

 

this jet stream needs to sorts its life out. 

Making for lovely lightening pics for you storm chasers mind 

A bit shit all told at the moment. Need some sunny, dry weather.

Been a good while since we've had such a humid day.

Been surprised that no storms have arrived.

I can tolerate most heat it's dry

Can't do humidity 

A good storm is needed with decent lightening so I can watch it whilst the other half watches the wimmins footy
